Tron founder Justin Sun has sharply criticized World Liberty Financial's latest governance proposal, calling it 'World Tyranny' in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The proposal would force early WLFI token holders to lock their assets for two years, with gradual release over the following two years—a move Sun argues is coercive rather than democratic.

The controversy centers on the project's treatment of early investors. Those who refuse the lock-up terms face indefinite token freezes, effectively cutting off access to their holdings. Sun, once a vocal supporter of WLFI, dismissed the proposal's framing as 'governance alignment,' suggesting it masks authoritarian control.

Market observers note the incident highlights growing tensions in crypto governance between decentralization rhetoric and centralized decision-making. The backlash comes as regulatory scrutiny of token lock-ups intensifies globally.
